The results of monitoring the urban planning documentation of the city of Odesa for 2023 showed that the existing Master Plan of the city needs to be updated, but no update is planned until all inconsistencies in the documentation, including in the UNESCO zone, are eliminated.
This was announced during public hearings on the draft Analytical Report on the results of urban planning monitoring of urban planning documentation of the city of Odesa for 2023 by the head of the Department of Architecture Nadiia Kazantseva.
In particular, the development and approval of the draft amendments to the General Plan of Odesa can begin after the development and approval of a new historical and architectural reference plan for Odesa, developed taking into account scientific and project documentation on the boundaries and modes of use of the object and the buffer zone of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Historical Center
of Odesa".
The hearing is the seventh stage of the monitoring and comments on the report will be accepted until August 2, 2025.
As Oleksandr Grekov, head of the Urban Planning Cadastre Service, noted during the hearings, such monitoring had been conducted before, but was of a framework nature, and only on the eve of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation did a new order of the Ministry of Community Development come into force, which changed the monitoring format.
Currently, according to the official, the mayor's office receives many complaints that in some cases the building regulation lines do not take into account the urban planning situation and in some places architectural and urban monuments are crossed by red lines of building regulation, and in places of private development, transport infrastructure zones are not taken into account. This makes it difficult for citizens to prepare urban planning documentation. These and other inconsistencies are planned to be eliminated.
Officials also complained about difficulties in communication between city departments involved in urban planning and their regional counterparts.
